Tough to say we have to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. the biggest difference that i see is the golf equipment, then compared to now. just my .02 cents

For some reason, you have missed hundreds of posts that do accept that.  I've often said I can't even prove that Tiger would beat Vardon head to head, although I'd bet on him. What I CAN prove is

Here ya go, right our of Jack's 1996 autobiography.  He is giving the third of his three reasons (equipment and fitness being the other) for the decline of the superstar in golf (re

That's very unfair to Jack, since he played events well into his 60's.  It also distorts Tiger's record, since he played injured for several years. It would be more fair to look at the the period

I have to say Tiger, I'm only 31 years old so never had the pleasure of watching Jack (other than the occasional grainy video on golf channel)

I'm young and have seen Tiger come from nothing to one of the best players ever so easy choice for me!

I am going to have to go with Tiger. While Jack was certainly great, you can't compare the level of competition yesterday with today.

I would say so far in his career, Tiger is more accomplished than Jack at the same point.

I used to love Tiger when he first came on tour, then I started cheering for anyone else to beat him (as they were all the underdog), and now I'm a huge Tiger fan again, mostly because I realized how hard he works, and how much he's struggled at times too. Undoubtedly, Tiger over Jack, although Jack was awesome too.

I'm not so sure that Jack's competition doesn't compare to Tiger's. He had several multiple major winners, both younger and older than he, had he went head to head with on a regular basis. They are both certainly the greatest of their respective generations.

Tiger has the advantage of all of the tech we have today. If Jack was in his prime today I think you might be saying Tiger who?

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
